Chris, and others, have encouraged me to put up some contact information in regards to DTC testing and the . Here is what Chris has gathered….

The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) is the division of the FDA that would be responsible for DTC genetic testing. And Office of In Vitro Diagnostic Device Evaluation and Safety (OVID) is the relevant CDRH office. The CDRH director is Jeffrey Shuren. OVID’s director is Alberto Gutierrez, and OVID’s personalized medicine staff are headed by Elizabeth Mansfield. Use the following to contact FDA staff:
• list of CDRH personnel
• contact info search form.

The Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration is Dr. Margaret Hamburg. She’s probably busy, but her chief of staff is Molly Muldoon. There is a list of the commissioner’s closest staff here and an address search form here.
